I am just loving your blog.

I have two boys (four & three) and live in South West Sydney and are always trying to think of things to do with them, it’s such a struggle to find appropriate activities.

But 10mins on your site, I’ve already come across a week’s worth of activities! Thank you so much!

The Story of Hello Sydney Kids

Seana Smith came to live in Sydney with her oldest son was just 18 months old. In her previous stay in Sydney, she had worked at Channel 9 and Channel 10 and she reckoned she knew the city well.

Wrong!

Living in Sydney with kids is 100% different to living here when you’re young, free and single.

So Seana set about learning all the great spots to visit with her wild child. This involved many disasters when they turned up to do walks and visit parks without much information about them.

She contacted Pan Macmillan to pitch a guide to Sydney for families and in 2001 Sydney For Under Fives was published.

Two more editions of Sydney For Under Fives followed.

Then in 2011, now with young twins as well as her two older boys, Seana decided to create a website. She had all the information from the book and photographs that she had been taking over many years.

Seana created the website Hello Sydney Kids, and continued to run around Sydney with her children, scribbling notes and taking photos. And that’s the website you see before you.

Hello Sydney Kids is now owned and managed by the Humphries family who started the Boobobutt website.

You can find Seana at her other websites.
